5. Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the HOCO CS23A charger from its packaging.
- Inspect: Check the charger for any visible damage. Do not use if damaged.
- Plug In: Insert the charger's EU standard plug into a compatible wall outlet.
- Connect Cable: Connect your device's charging cable to either the USB-C or USB-A port on the charger.
- Connect Device: Plug the other end of the charging cable into your device.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Single Device Charging:
- For optimal fast charging, use the USB-C port with a compatible USB-C to USB-C cable for devices supporting PD30W.
- For devices supporting QC3.0, use the USB-A port with a compatible USB-A to appropriate connector cable.
6.2 Dual Device Charging:
- Connect one device to the USB-C port and another to the USB-A port.
- When both ports are in use, the total output is shared, typically providing up to 15W (5.0V/3.0A) combined. This may result in slower charging speeds compared to single-port fast charging.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Disconnect the charger from the power outlet before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
- Storage: Store the charger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture when not in use.
- Handling: Avoid dropping or subjecting the charger to strong impacts. Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the charger.
8. Troubleshooting
- Device not charging: Ensure the charger is securely plugged into a working wall outlet. Check that the charging cable is properly connected to both the charger and your device. Try a different cable or device to isolate the issue.
- Slow charging: Verify that your device and cable support fast charging protocols (PD, QC3.0) to achieve maximum speeds. When charging two devices simultaneously, the power output is shared, which may result in slower charging for each device. Ensure your device is not running power-intensive applications in the background.
- Charger feels warm: It is normal for the charger to become slightly warm during operation, especially during fast charging. If it becomes excessively hot or emits smoke/odor, immediately unplug it and discontinue use.
9. User Tips
- Check Device Compatibility: While the charger supports many fast charging protocols, specific devices (e.g., some Realme models) may not fully utilize all protocols or may require proprietary charging solutions (like VOOC for some OnePlus/OPPO phones) for their fastest speeds. Always check your device's specifications for supported charging standards.
- Use Quality Cables: To ensure optimal charging speed and safety, always use high-quality, certified charging cables that are compatible with your device and the charger's fast charging protocols.
- Prioritize Single Port for Max Speed: If you need the absolute fastest charge for a single device, use only one port at a time. The USB-C port offers the highest individual output (30W).
10. Warranty and Support
